Mapping Connections -Prayer Station

I had the honor to design the worship services and prayer room for PSYM (Perkins School of Youth Ministry) earlier this month. I thought I would post the directions and photos of the stations I created that were in the prayer room for anyone interested in duplicating or being inspired by them for your own ministry setting. Here's the first one:

Mapping Connections:
Supplies:  List of cities attendees are from (optional), glue dots, buttons (so that the map could be reused without holes -push pins would be another option), laminated map (I always like to use laminated when I can so that it can be reused), package tags (or scrap paper), pens, Instructions
Set-Up: Map with buttons where people are from already attached (optional - I did not pre-pin for this event)
Directions: Often we are connected to people and don’t even realize it. Take a moment to look at the pins on the map. Do you have a connection to one of the cities other then were you are from? Is someone else from a city that you’ve taken a mission trip to or that you were born in or went to school in? Write your connection on a piece of paper and pin it near the city on the map. Say a prayer for the person from there. Check back again to see who else has made connections.


Please feel free to borrow and tweak these stations for your own group. Make comments to let me know how they've worked in your context.
